South Pointe Girls’ Basketball Team Aiming for Glory in State Championship

In the vibrant city of Rock Hill, excitement is buzzing as the South Pointe girls’ basketball team gears up for an exhilarating ride in the state tournament. Starting off as the top seed in the South Carolina 4A high school state tournament, their journey can only be described as nothing short of phenomenal. With an impressive undefeated record of 26-0 during the regular season, these athletes are set to make history!

A Team Like No Other

The Stallions, as they are affectionately called, are riding high as the highest-ranked unbeaten team in South Carolina. As the competition heats up, their first test comes against Bluffton in the opening round of the SCHSL playoffs at 6 p.m. on Tuesday. It’s an exciting moment as they attempt to build on their stellar momentum!

One of the key elements that sets this team apart is their fantastic chemistry and strong leadership. Many of the players have been supporting one another since they were just in third grade. This bond not only makes for a harmonious locker room but also transforms into a mighty force on the court.

Stars of the Court

Leading the charge for the Stallions is freshman point guard Kaleigh Lucas. She’s averaging an astonishing 19.8 points, 3.9 assists, and 4.7 blocks per game. Add to that a brilliant 72% shooting percentage from the free throw line, and it’s clear that she’s a player to watch. Right behind her is sophomore Janiya Cunningham, who’s also contributing significantly with an average of 19.1 points, 253 rebounds, and 12 blocks per game. Senior player Serenity Woods is additionally making her mark, consistently putting up double-digit points.

Dominance on the Court

The team has shown incredible intensity during practices and games, propelling them to an extraordinary season. An astonishing stat that truly captures their dominance is their scoring average: the Stallions net a whopping 69.4 points per game while restricting opponents to just 34.5 points per game. A historic feat indeed, as no prior team within their school’s history has achieved a perfect 26-0 record heading into playoffs.

Challenging the Competition

With their eyes set firmly on the prize, the team is laser-focused on conquering the next five games to secure the coveted state championship title—the first in school history! Following their bout against Bluffton, they’ll find themselves matching up against the Berea Bulldogs at 7 p.m. on Thursday. This promises to be an electrifying matchup, particularly since South Pointe previously edged out Berea in a close game, winning 57-49 back in December 2021.

However, Berea is no team to disrespect. Recently, they pulled off a nail-biter of a victory, winning their last game 60-58, while also scoring 55 points or more in their past four matchups. This indicates they’re a fierce competitor, eager to challenge the Stallions’ undefeated status.

The Road Ahead

As the South Pointe girls’ basketball team embarks on their quest for glory, the air is thick with anticipation. Students, families, and fans are rallying behind this inspiring group of athletes, all eager to witness the potential for a historic state championship run. So, as the games unfold over the coming weeks, keep an eye out for this unstoppable team!
